BlackChili Compound
With our unique tread compound, we have revolutionized the sport of cycling. With the legendary BlackChili Compound we have answered the eternal question of the best balance of grip and rolling resistance for cycling. The latest polymers as well as specially developed carbon black particles and filler materials deliver unique performance, be it on a road, gravel or a mountain bike, for time trialing or downhill.
ProTection Technology
The extra all-round puncture protection layer renders the casings extremely durable and resistant to damage or penetration from foreign elements. Treads and sidewalls are equally protected, and are 25% lighter and offer 30% more puncture protection than their predecessors protected by DuraSkin. Rolling resistance and absorption has also significantly improved. The new Revolution Tubeless Ready Bead improves the installation of Tubeless Ready Tires. For tubeless sealing we recommend the use of Continental RevoSealant.
Tubeless and E-Bike Ready
Our carcass construction is robust and impervious against damage and penetration from foreign objects. The result: versatile, low weight and an attractive design. In addition, tires made using this technology can also be used as Tubeless or with an inner tube.
Tires marked with E-25 are rated to a standard speed of at least 15mph (25kmh). E25 e-bike tires feature a high quality structure with puncture protection to reduce premature wear brought about by the additional driving force.

Great tire at a great price, holds the dirt well and gives the necessary added control on an up and down cross country course.

I did a 22 mile ride of pavement and trails on these new Race Kings and they felt great! Good grip on both surface types and I felt like they had lower roll resistance than my previous Bontrager tires. For $52 a tire, I feel like they are a great bargain. Do yourself a favor tho and buy a tire changing tool. They are very hard to get onto your rims without one

Continental and Maxxis make the best bike tires, period. I also own and use 700x25 Continental Grand Prix 5000's and Continental Gatorskins tires on road bikes.... awesome bike tires. The Race King tires are perfect for my 29er, hard tail mountain bike. Race King tread is ideal for hard pack gravel or dirt on rail trails. Race Kings are also much faster than typical knobby mountain bike tires on asphalt and concrete. These tires would probably not be ideal for single track style mountain bike riding, but are perfect for cross country gravel riding and rail trails. Race Kings are easy to install. I use these tires with tubes, but Race Kings can run tubeless. Highly recommended for 29er mountain bikes. A+

Seems like a decent tire the Trail King 29er, couldn't afford another Mountain King this time around. Good tread for front, real nightmare to mount this tire. It is a nice tire but, took me over 4 hours of constant work, the tire would seal nicely but appeared deformed, re-seated many many times, at length I used soapy water on the rim and inflated to 41 psi, after a few more tries eventually the tire sorted out. Pumping up a MTB tire 20 times in one night is a bit much. If I had thought to use soapy water firstly... My Maxxis Aggressor was one & done, same rim no issues whatsoever with mounting or seating. The Continental has excellent seal and looks really good on the bike. The writing on the tire is all silver. It came cable tied which might have contributed to the difficulty mounting the tire though I gave it 2 days open and never had this sort of tire mounting issue before with a modern MTB tire so, gotta tell ya that was a disappointment. Really a wonderful thing though, new rubber. if I were a bike pro mechanic I would have gotten it right the first time. I used 100ml of sealant, we will see how it does. WTB which doesn't run well through thin injectors.

I was surprised how much better these grip the road than my old tires. They give me a bit more confidence when cornering, even when the road is wet.

I just installed these tires on my wtb 27.5 wheels. I pumped them to 40psi front, 45 rear and took them out for a ride at my local trail. Immediately I noticed the cornering was better than the continental cross kings running same wheelset and tire pressure. I felt more confident on descents and attacked the ascents. I have more control at faster speeds and in cornering. I was able to be more aggressive on the loose dirt berms and off camber slopes. I’ll probably run my psi on both wheels at a lower pressure to see if that enhances the aggressiveness of the mountain king and hopefully I see an improvement of the confidence with the cross kings at a lower pressure. I will update after my ride results.Update as of 07/19/2020, I ran these tires at the lower psi (20 front/25 back) and they responded really good in loose dry dirt, and packed in hard dirt. The tires were good on cornering due to the treads on the edge of the wheel being deeper. I'm running these on a hardtail and found them to handle pretty good. I purchased a set of Trail Kings for my 29er enduro/trail bike and they handled really well on a couple of black diamond trails Lyons reservoir just past Mi-Wuk village, CA. For wet or hero dirt I would suggest the Der Kaiser's because they have meatier treads.

After careful thought, I purchased two of these tires for my mountain bike. When they arrived I immediately checked for any issues (I do that for all tires). The tire is very well made and I like the wall thickness the most. My previous tires were 29x2.1. I had no issues installing this 2.2 tire on my rims. I also used a self sealing tube. I took the bike out for a road test. On concrete, these tires road very smooth and I could feel the grip on the road. I drove thru a little road mud and it performed well. You should be happy if you want this tire for a road bike. I did some dirt riding and they preform very well on a dry dirt/gravel trail. I haven't tested the tires on some rough terrain as of yet, but I think they will preform well. Overall, I really like these tires. One thing I might add for the novice riders. Be sure you mount the tire in the correct rotation. The arrow is on the tire, so match it up with the rotation of the wheel. Don't laugh, my buddy complained about his tires and they were mounted wrong.

I’ve had several Continental tires on my mountain bike over the years , and this one maintains the tradition of being superior to any other tire I’ve ever used. Stout tough material coupled with rugged tread design gives you miles and miles of trail shredding pleasure. Will definitely continue using these tires !!

Mal, muy mal, fatal y asqueroso. La mrd de forma que tienen de plegar la cubierta hace que al montarla quede doblada. Da igual que talone bien, el tubelizado, la presion de inflado... El neumatico viene deformado y despues de tubelizarlo y montarlo es una autentica ptd ya que tienes que gastar doble en todo. Muchas gracias no volvere a comprarle nada a este comprador. Y si con suerte te gastas los 31e en medicinas mejor.

Ottimo Pneumatico, da quando l'ho montato sulla mia ebike è aumentato notevolmente il grip in trazione.
